Cloud Solutions for Business

Cloud Solutions are a handy way to store files, photos, music, and any other digital documents on hosted sites away from your office or computer. You probably already use Cloud Storage if you regularly back your phone up (and if you don’t do that, you really should do).

How can a Cloud-based solution help your business?

For businesses, Cloud Solutions can be a cost-effective, resilient and secure way of ensuring that your team can access the information they need wherever and whenever they need it.

LP Networks work alongside our clients to design and provide the perfect Cloud Solution that suits their current needs and their requirements for the future.

Cloud Solutions for Business FAQs

What are cloud solutions in a business context?

Cloud solutions allow your organisation to store data, run applications, host desktops, and manage services on secure remote servers rather than local hardware. This provides flexibility, scalability, and improved reliability for growing businesses.

Are cloud solutions secure for business use?

Yes, when implemented correctly. Cloud platforms include encryption, access controls, multifactor authentication, and regular updates. Security can be strengthened further through dedicated Cyber Security services.

What types of cloud solutions does LP Networks offer?

We provide private cloud environments, hosted infrastructure, hosted desktops, Microsoft 365 platforms, cloud-based file sharing, website hosting, and hosted telephony. These solutions can also integrate with our Managed IT services for long-term support and management.

How can cloud solutions reduce business costs?

Cloud services can reduce the need for on-site servers, hardware upgrades, and ongoing maintenance. Costs are usually predictable and subscription-based, allowing businesses to scale without large upfront investments.

Can cloud solutions support remote or hybrid working?

Yes. Cloud platforms make it easy for staff to access files, applications, and systems from any location, improving collaboration and productivity across remote or hybrid teams.

Do I need to move everything to the cloud at once?

No. Many organisations adopt a phased or hybrid approach, gradually moving workloads into the cloud. This helps manage cost, complexity, and user onboarding. Our IT Consultancy services can help you plan the best route for your business.

What happens if the cloud service fails?

Reputable cloud platforms offer redundancy, failover, and uptime guarantees. For added resilience, cloud solutions work alongside a strong continuity strategy such as Backup & Disaster Recovery to keep your data protected and accessible.

Can LP Networks help us plan a transition to the cloud?

Yes. We can assess your current systems, recommend suitable cloud platforms, plan a smooth migration, and provide ongoing support as part of our Managed IT services.
